Miley Cyrus Offends More Than Just Parents Of Preteen Girls

Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus caused quite a stir when this photo of her and some friends began making the rounds on the internet:

The Asian American organization The OCA issued the following statement to TMZ:

The photograph of Miley Cyrus and other individuals slanting their eyes currently circulating the Internet is offensive to the Asian Pacific American community and sets a terrible example for her many young fans. This image falls within a long and unfortunate history of people mocking and denigrating individuals of Asian descent…Not only has Miley Cyrus and the other individuals in the photograph encouraged and legitimized the taunting and mocking of people of Asian descent, she has also insulted her many Asian Pacific American fans. The inclusion of an Asian Pacific American individual in the photo does not make it acceptable.

What these folks don’t realize is that Miley is just preparing for an international marketing campaign instigated by Disney to combat the flailing US economy and declining profits for the entertainment giant. There were a number of ethnically insensitive Hannah Montana clones in the works, including the one that inspired the controversial photo:

Needless to say, the show has been scrapped, as have the following equally offensive projects:

HAHAHA. Billy Ray Samurai. I have to stumble this post, no ifs or butts about it.

This is hilarious. I laughed out aloud and made some goofy Asian faces.

i appreciate the irony in the picture and quite unsure why the picture is offensive to asians. there may even be a context to the picture. i am chinese filipino and don’t see any reason to be offended in the post. however, there may be issues with the asian pacific american that i didn’t experience from my country. that being said, there are other things that have offended me and i guess at the day, it’s also a cultural thing.

at least, that’s what i think.

I think the interesting part is that it offends “Asian Pacific Americans”, but apparently not Asians in general.

I like Hannah Talibantana! Miley Cyrus: offending the West, the East, and everyone in the Middle.

I am not asian but tell me that the guy in the red shirt making the peace sign and buck teeth is not racist.

Jerm confesses!

Teen Mom 2 dad Jeremy Calvert admits that he lied to Leah Messer on the show about why he and his fiancée Brooke broke up. He says that the split was not over his phone conversation with Leah about Addie’s school, but his phone call to Brooke’s friend “Abby.” Brooke also responded to the scene with a two-part Instagram video calling BS on Jerm. Keep reading for a recap, including links to more details about the real reason Wehremy broke up back in February.

BEFORE Before the 90 Days

On Sunday night’s premiere of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days we met 34-year-old Paul Staehle from Louisville, Kentucky, and his potential 21-year-old fiancée Karine from a remote village on the Amazon River in Brazil. Paul mentioned in the premiere that he had some “serious trouble” in his past that he has yet to tell Karine about, and I think we may have figured out what that was!
